Beginning his musical career in the swing era
with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey, Sinatra became
a solo artist with great success in the early
to mid-1940s, being the idol of the "bobby
soxers". His professional career had stalled
by the 1950s, but it was reborn in 1953 after
he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

He signed with Capitol Records and released several
critically lauded albums (such as In the Wee Small
Hours, Songs for Swingin' Lovers, Come Fly with
Me, Only the Lonely and Nice 'n' Easy). Sinatra
left Capitol to found his own record label, Reprise
Records (finding success with albums such as Ring-A-Ding-Ding,
Sinatra at the Sands and Francis Albert Sinatra
& Antonio Carlos Jobim), toured internationally,
and fraternized with the Rat
Pack and President John F. Kennedy in the
early 1960s. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, recorded
the retrospective September of My Years, starred
in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra:
A Man and His Music, and scored hits with "Strangers
in the Night" and "My Way".

Sinatra attempted to weather the changing tastes
in popular music,
but with dwindling album sales and after appearing
in several poorly received films, he retired in
1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973, he recorded
several albums, scoring a hit with "(Theme
From) New York, New York" in 1980, and toured
both within the United
States and internationally until a few years
before his death in 1998.

Sinatra also forged a career as a dramatic actor,
winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting
Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity,
and he was nominated for the Academy Award for
Best Actor for The Man with the Golden Arm. He
also starred in such musicals as High Society,
Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls and On the Town. Sinatra
was honored with the Kennedy Center Honors in
1983 and awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional
Gold Medal in 1997. Sinatra was also the recipient
of eleven Grammy Awards, including the Grammy
Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy
Lifetime Achievement Award.

Controversy

Alleged organized crime links

Sinatra garnered considerable attention due to
his alleged personal and professional links with
organized crime, including figures such as Sam
Giancana, Lucky Luciano, and Joseph Fischetti.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation kept records
amounting to 2,403 pages on Sinatra. With his
Mafia ties, his ardent New Deal politics and his
friendship with John F. Kennedy, he was a natural
target for J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. The FBI kept
Sinatra under surveillance for almost five decades
beginning in the 1940s with, for example, an erroneous
report that the star paid $40,000 for his 4-F
draft status, through the early 1980s when he
was successful in efforts to get his Nevada Gaming
license renewed. The documents include accounts
of Sinatra as the target of death threats and
extortion schemes. They also portray rampant paranoia
and strange obsessions at the FBI and reveal nearly
every celebrated Sinatra foible and peccadillo.

For a year Hoover investigated Sinatra's alleged
Communist affiliations, but came up empty-handed.
Readers learn that the budding star, to get an
exemption from military service, told draft-board
doctors that he had an irrational fear of crowds.

The
files include his rendezvous with prostitutes,
and his extramarital affair with Ava Gardner,
which preceded their marriage. Celebrities mentioned
in the files are Dean
Martin,Marilyn
Monroe, Peter Lawford, and Giancana's girlfriend,
singer Phyllis McGuire.

The FBI's secret dossier on Sinatra was released
in 1998 in response to Freedom of Information
Act requests. (Credit:

Online gaming firm PartyGaming said customers
were playing less often as poker sites which still
take bets from US customers were distorting the
market.

The company, which was forced to stop accepting
US-based players after legislation effectively
banned internet gaming there, said it faced an
"unlevel playing field" in poker.

This contributed to a 14% year-on-year drop in
active player days, which stood at 6.3 million
in the final three months of last year.

Takings from active players in the three months
to the end of December fell 18% year-on-year to
171.1 dollars (£116.5), and group revenue
was down 18% to 100.4 million dollars (£68.3
million).

PartyGaming said it experienced a delay in the
launch of its new loyalty scheme which went live
in December, battled against the impact of a stronger
dollar on revenues, and had extra promotions associated
with the relaunch of its PartyPoker site.

Nonetheless the company said underlying earnings
for the full year would be at least 143 million
dollars, up 28% year-on-year and slightly ahead
of market expectations.

The strong dollar continued to impact performance
in the first five weeks of 2009, with average
gross daily revenues down 2% from the previous
quarter to 1.4 million dollars.

However PartyGaming revealed it has signed an
exclusive three-year agreement to develop online
gaming ventures in Spanish-speaking countries
with Cirsa, a European operator of bingo clubs
and amusement arcades.

The company has also secured the rights to develop
an online slot game using the Frank Sinatra brand
and original recordings of the singer's hits.

Numis Securities analyst Richard Carter said the
group's business-to-business strategy was "gaining
momentum", but added that trading this year
was below his expectations.
